Archicad 21 new Countertop Element

[luciant]

On page 104 of the Archicad 21 pdf help guide it says there is a Countertop Element in the USA version. Does anybody know where this element is located?

Thanks!

In the object tool search for "countertop" it should pop up in the list. Though it is not a good object to use and I would avoid it. It does not resize from corners and has some other problems.

Thanks Eduardo. I found that object and I agree - not very useful. What threw me was that the guide used the term "Element" not "Object".

A bit annoying that this is only available in the USA version

You don't want it.

Why not?

Read above.

• • Splash connections can not be 45º.
  • Height to floor is specified to under the cabinet not to top.
  • Missing hotspots (only 2 for the back corners). Only one stretchable HP.
  • Only 2 basins.
  • It is the same as the existing Multi Basin Counter except you can stretch from the corner (which I was wrong to write above)
  • It is more difficult to use than a slab and a regular sink object
  • Distance between sinks is specified from sides of counter not from center.
  • No option for a counter underneath.
  • Taps are centered, no hotspots to move like Multi Basin Object.
  • Only available for US.

Was not worth it to list it as an "Upgrade Object"

Sounds like it was an after thought or maybe even an afterbirth
